    In possibly the only event of its kind, tattooists skilled in the art of American Traditional tattoos – the style favored by early 20th century sailors – will ply their trade aboard the 1892 National Historic Landmark Cruiser Olympia. At the same time at the Seaport, the festival will feature tattoo wares for sale, tattoo contests, a tattoo watercolor art show, entertainment by Dr. Zanzibar’s Olde City Sideshow and The Enigma, and tours of the exhibit, "Skin & Bones – Tattoos in the Life of the American Sailor."
